Have to disagree here, I'm almost totally digital but can still see that film has a role to play. There is room for both in my opinion and will be for a long time yet.
Just because Nikon and Canon are not making film cameras doesn't mean that all companies aren't. Whilst many pros will argue for digital over film, there are just as many who will still use nothing but medium or large format because digital, whether you like it or not, is still not quite there in terms of print quality.
Also, a full frame Hasselblad will set you back some £20k, which is what you will need to come anywhere near the same quality as film, whereas a medium format film camera can be had for £500 or so. Don't be too quick to write off film, it will be with us for a while yet.
Nice pics, BTW.
